Introduction : SDG optimization is the main goal of the current research, focusing on SDG#3, good health and well-being. Spinal anesthesia is a technique widely used for its efficacy and safety, and it is also known as spinal, subarachnoid, intra-dural, or intra-thecal anesthesia. It is characterized by the administration of an anesthetic in the subarachnoid space that is located between the pia mater and arachnoid meninges to generate a sequential block in the nerve fibers. Aim of study : This review aims to investigate and identify the risk factors associated with administering spinal anesthesia. Method : We conducted a clinical study in 100 patients to determine the incidence of hypotension (systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg), bradycardia (heart rate less than 60 beats/min), nausea, vomiting, and tachycardia during spinal anesthesia. Results and Findings : The data were analyzed and organized statistically according to The objective of the current study (the objectives of this study were to identify risk factors and the occurrence of complications during spinal anesthesia) using the SPSS program. Version 28. Conclusion : The present study concludes that BMI and the dose of SA were the factors associated with SA-induced hypotension during a CS, and the site of the SA puncture equal to or lower than L2 was the only risk factor associated with spinal anesthesia-induced bradycardia. Recommendation ; based on the study, the following recommendations are suggested: Health education program about risk factors. and Complication of Spinal anesthesia.

Background: Patient safety is a key element of the quality of health services. Nurses are the largest group that care for patients, observing safety in nursing care would reduce injuries, disability, morbidity and mortality. However, high stress can lead to a decline in the quality of nursing care. Aim: The current study aimed to assess the relationship between patient safety culture and job stress among staff nurses. Subjects and Method: The subject of this study included (114) pediatric staff nurses. they were selected randomly. Research design: Cross –sectional analytical design was used to conduct this study. Setting: This study was conducted at all inpatient departments in Abou EL Reesh children’s Hospital which is affiliated to Cairo University Hospitals. Tools: Data was collected by using two tools namely: Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture Questionnaire and Expanded Nursing Stress Scale. Results: Only (8.8%) the staff nurses had high awareness regarding total patient safety culture. While the majority (91.2%) of them had low awareness regarding total patient safety culture. Almost all (98.2%) of the staff nurses had high job stress level, while only (1.8%) the staff nurses had low job stress level. Conclusion: There was significant statistical negative correlation between staff nurses awareness about patient safety culture and their job stress. Recommendations: Integrate patient safety culture as a part of the orientation and development program for nurses. Hospital top management, policy and decision makers should pay attention to tracking organizational factors causing stress. Keeping regular staff meeting allow staff nurses to express their feeling openly and get feedback and support.

The growing trend of multi-screen use among preparatory school students raises concerns about potential addiction. While mobile touchscreen devices (smartphones and tablets) are ubiquitous, we lack a clear understanding of how these students use them and why this behavior is on the rise. The aim of this study: is to examine the effect of multi-screen addiction on sleep quality and self-control among preparatory school students. Subjects and Methods: A study design that was cross-sectional was employed. In this study, 300 students from certain preparatory schools connected to Minia City of Minia Governorate were included in a multistage random sample. Four tools were used in this research involved; 1 st tool: A structured interviewing questionnaire, first Part: Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, second Part: multi-screen history, 2 nd Tool: a multi-screen addiction scale, 3 rd Tool: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and 4 th Tool: Brief Self-Control Scale. Results: More than half of the studied sample had high multi-screen addiction; the majority of them had unsatisfactory sleep quality and low self-control levels. Also, there was a highly statistically significant correlation between multi-screen addiction and studied sample sleep quality and their self-control level. Conclusion: A current research highlighted that multi-screen addiction improved among preparatory school students as well as its impact reversely on their quality of sleep and self-control. Recommendation: Preparatory students need continuous education on multi-screen use. Programs can teach responsible digital habits, including time management and identifying both the risks and benefits of multi-screening, to empower students for success.

Conclusion: A current research highlighted that multi-screen addiction improved among preparatory school students as well as its impact reversely on their quality of sleep and self-control. Recommendation: Preparatory students need continuous education on multi-screen use. Programs can teach responsible digital habits, including time management and identifying both the risks and benefits of multi-screening, to empower students for success.","PeriodicalId":505881,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Health Care","volume":"37 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141233089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Nursing care of eyes is considered a basic nursing intervention in critically ill patients. However, it is sometimes neglected due to the focus on supporting vital body functions. These patients are at great risk of eye disorders as a result of their medical conditions and treatment that can alter the eye protective mechanisms, such as the use of ventilatory support and sedation. Preventing eye problems requires improving the critical care nurses’ competency through continuous pre-service education, hands-on experience, and in-service training. Aim: Assess the effect of eye care clinical guidelines training on critical care nurses’ competency and eye complications among critically ill patients. Methods : Interventional research using a pre-post design was used to assess and compare nurses' scores before and after the ECCGs training. A Convenient sample of all nurses (75) who worked in the critical care unit in the Main University Hospital at Alexandria University and agreed to participate in the study was enrolled in the study. In addition, a purposive sample of 100 adult patients who had eligible criteria was included in the study. The data of the current study were collected by using three tools namely “eye care clinical competency questionnaire”, “Patient’s eye assessment record”, and “Superficial ocular surface disorders assessment scales package ” . Results: A total of 75 nurses and 100 critically ill patients participated in the current study. The percent scores of post-implementation nurses’ eye care knowledge and practice were significantly higher than their pre-implementation scores (p ≤ 0.001) respectively. However, there was no significant difference between the nurses’ attitude scores (p 0.147). Additionally, the percent scores of eye complications were 84% in patients who received care from nurses before attending the in-service training compared to 46% of eye complications among the patients who received care from nurses after attending the in-service training with a high significant difference between both studied groups (p <0.001). Conclusion: Implementing ECCGs significantly improved eye care nurses’ knowledge, and practice, which contributed to reducing the occurrence of eye complications among critically ill patients.
